Wild Ginger sprouts in Smithtown

Wild Ginger, that prolific pan-Asian restaurant group whose Long Island locations include Great Neck, East Northport and Rockville Centre, has spawned a new Smithtown site.

I stopped in for a peek at the casual but attractive place, which was done in autumnal colors, like its older siblings. The menu was similar, too, listing such items as Thai spring rolls ($2.50), Indonesian sambal with chicken ($12) and wok-grilled garlic shrimp ($18). From the sushi bar came such items as a Smithtown roll with crunchy spicy salmon, avocado and salmon on top ($12), chirashi ($18) and pepper tuna tataki ($11).

Wild Ginger is at 69 Smithtown Blvd., Smithtown, 631-265-2800.
